Dealer v Indy v Scrappy - Nsar
We have an au pair who thinks he's God's gift behind the wheel a view somewhat challenged by his ability to reverse into large heavy objects, the latest being a wall which totalled the rear bumper valance.

Got a quote from the main dealer of £300 and odd for replacement part, painting and fitting. £250 from a decent indy we use.

I did a search on Find a Part, just bought a nice clean one from the local scrappy for £10 and a local body shop will spray it for £40 cash.

Being a bloke I'm thinking that's at least £200 I'm better off, what stupid gadget can I buy now with the 'savings'

interesting implication there, TVM: that the driver comes from abroad.
perhaps swop the au pair for a female version - better drivers, surely!

Not so sure that would be my opinion,but as certain insurance co`s seem to think so, who am I to argue:-(
